KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is Rodgers in control?

well its only liverpool who give those madness contracts out .

Yeh he's called his bluff alright Faz. We have had one loan offer apparently a load of Media hearsay over the last few months, and precious little else and we are now going to be stumping up 170k a week unless in the next 40 days we give him away.

How anyone can call this a good strategy is beyond me. If people are going to talk about players making noises at least be consistent. I believe Reina has 3 years on his contract how is it any different that Rogers take the same line with him as he did with Suarez if he was worried about him wanting to leave? They must have talked end of season. Instead we've spunked 9 million and still have Reina warming the bench on a 110 a week.

best keeper in europe isnt he ?? dont see the big clubs queing up to buy him now do we , look reina has muted at barcelona , arsenal etc , so maybe just maybe rodgers thought if wants reina wants away i will by a keeper a young keeper who is hungry to do well .

Post a link, or quote anyone saying Reina was the best keeper in Europe for me Faz.

Top4, mate if you can't see the difference between "Suarez gate" and Reina wanting a transfer, then I'm lost.
One is in the form of his life and irreplaceable, the other has lost form and can / was easily replaced.

Closest thing I could find

many people have said it even dunk said it on twitter ,. reina is decent keeper but hasnt been the best in europe for a long time now sadly he has gone very stale at liverpool for what ever reason , if he stays he fights for his place with a young hungry premier league experienced keeper , if he goes he goes but i still cant believe the contract he is on , what would be interesting would be what valdes or casillas or de gea is on wages wise in respect to reina's deal .

I stand corrected.

Yes you do

MP,

If I'm wrong on the reasons then I hold my hands up mate, but it appears not being privy to the inner workings of the club that someone (FSG) has assessed that he is on too much money and should be off loaded.

However, they have bought a new guy in to replace him without any concrete offer at all and he has 3 years remaining on his contract. We didn't get a guy on a free here either. He has cost 9 million of our transfer budget which is desperately needed elsewhere.

Reina was good enough and we have far higher priorities. He had certainly been steadily improving and gaining back his form by season's end without question.

As of now we are stuck with 2 keepers on 170K a week. Don't tell me this is good transfer dealings. If in the coming weeks we get a decent offer and he is sold then fair enough but considering Rogers is quite clearly having to wheel and deal yet again and IF Reina wanted a move (no evidence bar the tabloid junk) the club could have stood firm and refused to sanction it until we were stronger elsewhere.

If Rogers felt it was solely down to ability fair enough he's the manager of this club and I'll back him, but considering our financial constraints it appears ridiculous to me that they hadn't lined up a solid exit for Reina beforehand.
